I apologize that I am not dressed well, and I don't look as cute as I normally do. :) I didn't get any makeup on for TV. People've been writin' in, and sayin' that I need to wear makeup so I won't look like I'm back on drugs. Got a haircut. That's nice....I know I look really sweet, now. :) This is my Pat Robertson look. What do you think of that?
This is so wild what's goin' on. Tomorrow, Pastor Juan and I are goin' up to Corcoran Prison, where I'm going to, ahh.... Oh you don't know about it? [laughter]. You've been drafted by the Holy Ghost. I thought I talked to you about that. Maybe, I'm not sure, but in any event, I'll be goin' to see Charlie Manson tomorrow up there. So, that should be interestin'. He wrote to me and sent me a visitor's card to fill out. And I filled it out. And they ask me what the relationship between me and the prisoner is. And I felt the Lord was tellin' me to put down a particular word; and I thought, I can't put this down. What relationship am I gonna say? And I thought 'minister'? And I mean, do ya think they would fall for that when I walk in? :) I'm sure the warden would say, 'Yeah right'. But I felt the Lord was tellin' me to put down that I'm goin' in as a 'friend'. And I asked God If that was Him. Because If I write down 'friend' on this thing, I'm tryin' to go in prisons two and three times a month all over the United States. And they're constantly checkin' my background. And if I start puttin' it down that I'm a friend of Charles Manson, I might have a hard time getting in to some of the prisons. Because they don't want you to come in, if you're a friend of any inmate in any prison in the United States. But I am a friend to Charles Manson, because Jesus has set me free and I've been saved.
The devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy. He's out for you, and he's out for your grandmother. He's out for our children; he's out for Charles Manson; he's out for me. And he's even out for Pastor Juan. But, praise the Lord Jesus, we have the victory through Christ Jesus our Lord. Praise God! Have you got some songs ready for me? I would like to do Hosanna, and than I'll do, and then I'm gonna do Come to Jesus. I figure I'll rock out a little bit. You don't mind if I rock out a little bit? And I am aware that you've been here since 5:00 O' Clock. But like Pastor said, 'Before you were saved, you weren't even drunk yet.' You know.. the two hours in a bar. :) Song: Hosanna [675k .wav file, 32 sec.].
How many got saved out of drug addiction? Praise the Lord Jesus. That's somethin' to clap about, isn't it? How many got saved out of the occult, or out of new age, or out of satanism? How many of you were trying' to focus on crystals, and do all kinds of stupid things; sittin' under pyramids, thinkin' you were gonna grow or somethin'? The world is 'nuts', you know? They say, 'We are a nut screw.' I am a nut, but I'm screwed to the right bolt. Jesus. Praisin' the Lord Jesus.
Today I got stuck in the airport. And, I was sittin' in the restaurant there, watchin' the play off game. And there were guys there, paintin' themselves blue; taking their shirts off in the winter; and paintin' themselves orange, and blue, and all kinds of colors; wearin' wigs. And we're the fanatics? :) There was a team that scored a touchdown today. And I saw two men, grown men, when they were panning the audience. A team scored a touchdown. And they were panning the crowd. Two grown men turned to each other with love in their eyes; and hugged, and patted each other, because a team scored a touchdown. Nobody will remember the score in a week.
I remember those days, you know, with gettin' drunk and your buddy. You know ' I love you man, I really do' You gotta have twelve martinis before you can say that. 'I'll be there forever, dude. I really will. I promise you. I'm sorry I threw up on you man. I really am. I'll buy you a new shirt. I really will.' Then, the next day, gone! You know. As soon as the business deal is over, and tour is over. Gone! I would like to get ready with I Exalt Thee [755k .wav file, 35 sec.], cause I'm gonna sing praise to the Lord.
I would like to share for a few minutes here, just about the mercy of our Lord. The Word of God says in Psalm 107, Oh, give thanks unto the Lord for He is good. For His mercy endureth forever. Whose mercy endureth forever? Just the Lord's, you know? We have had relationships in the past, many of us have done things that we're ashamed of when we think about. What God has done for us now. How much mercy did some of those people have, that you were in love with in the past? It fades. My own mother had me put in Juvenile detention hall, when I was twelve years old. And again several times as I was growin' up. The Word of God says, Can a mother forget the child of her own womb? And yet, today we are seeing women aborting the 'tissue', as they call it, out of their womb everyday. They refer to it as 'tissue'. And they're aborting out of their own wombs. The Word of God says, Can a woman forget the child in her own womb, or forget the child sucking at her own breast? Yes, she will, or, she can forget you. But God says, 'No. But No. I will never forget you. Praise my Lord Jesus. He will never forget us. Praise God. Praise Jesus.
My Deepest Love,
Jeff
